Tirzepatide

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have reshaped obesity treatment, yet weight-loss outcomes remain highly uneven in real-world care. Using a federated biomedical platform, we analyzed 135 349 individuals treated with semaglutide an…

The aggregation of the 42-residue form of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is important in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Preclinical and clinical findings support that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) can protect against neuroinflammation a…

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is the leading global cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. Although cardiovascular outcomes have improved substantially, renal risk remains high. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor a…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual incretin therapies produce substantial weight loss and cardiometabolic improvement, yet treatment discontinuation is common and associated with adverse metabolic consequences.…

PURPOSE: The SURMOUNT-5 trial demonstrated greater weight reduction with tirzepatide vs. semaglutide in adults with obesity without diabetes. This study compared real-world weight reduction and cardiometabolic parameters associated with tirzepatide a…

Obesity is currently considered as adiposity based chronic disease with BMI as therapeutic target for prevention of obesity associated complications. For treatment of obesity, a stepwise approach is recommended including multifactorial basal therapy…

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent condition and a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Several pharmacological agents are currently used in its clinical management. This meta-analysis…

BACKGROUND: Peptide therapeutics represent an emerging frontier in gerontological medicine, targeting fundamental hallmarks of aging including metabolic dysfunction, telomere attrition, tissue repair impairment, and hormonal decline. OBJECTIVE: To co…

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in China has continued to increase over the last decade, with mounting health and economic consequences. In this Personal View, we critically examine recent advances and identify current and emerging challenge…

AIM: This study aims to examine weight-loss history and pre-treatment concerns, and their associations with current functioning and well-being in adults undergoing incretin-based pharmacotherapy for obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectiona…

OBJECTIVES: To assess longterm weight and comorbidity outcomes following bariatric surgery at a publicly funded obesity service. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort of 203 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery b…

INTRODUCTION: Although glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) demonstrate remarkable efficacy for weight management, emerging pharmacovigilance data suggest an increased hair loss risk, particularly with newer agents. This study invest…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics of weight loss drugs (WLDs) users in Norway. DESIGN: Nested population-based case-control study. SETTING: Nationwide healthcare registries with data on dispensed medications and healthcare diagn…

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs)-along with the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1RA tirzepatide-are widely acknowledged for their efficacy in managing both type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, with exp…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is highly prevalent among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This review summarizes current evidence on the pharmacologic treatment of MASLD, with emphasis on ag…

This rapid review aimed to evaluate the effects of GLP-1 RAs on eating behaviors and eating disorder risk. Databases were searched to January 2025 to identify studies evaluating GLP-1 RA treatment for adolescents or adults with obesity or Type 2 diab…
